VAT rise and diesel

Nine Hours after the VAT rise I drove past the British Petroleum garage I regularly use to fill up my car with diesel. I noticed that the price of diesel had risen to just over 131p per litre. Two hours later I returned to the garage and proceeded to fill my tank. I noticed that the indicator on the pump was showing I was spending at a rate faster than £1.00 per second. I then noticed that the price of diesel had increased to just over 132p per litre sometime in the previous two hours. The garage manager confirmed to me that the fuel supplier had just instructed him to increase the pump prices. I doubt if many people will notice this tactless additional burden on drivers.
